Harmony - Forums & communities with Drupal

heylookalive

Harmony! What is it? An entity based forum that's here to give Drupal a better option than the Core forum module or 3rd party integrations.

Why do we need it, and why does a talk about it belong at DrupalCon?

Because Twitter used Core forum for their developer forum which they've since dumped for Discourse. Drupal now has a better choice, supporting eco-system of modules and people need to know it's an option.

In this session you'll get to hear about...

  • How this project got started.
  • What sets it apart in approach from Core forum, advanced forum and 3rd-party integrations (and why those options suck).
  • Development approach and module integrations (you only get what you need, and integrate with everything possible) to provide ultimate flexibility!
  • Why it makes sense to develop a forum with Drupal.
  • Who's using Harmony? Including a quick overview of Cancer Chat, how Cancer Research UK - the worlds largest research based charity rebuilt their community using Harmony.
  • Introduction of front-end mockups (working HTML, to be implemented).
  • What Harmony looks like right now and a tour of features.
  • Roadmap (what's coming up), planned modules, themes and distributions.
  • Initiatives to come out of Harmony work, At.js, Profanity, Event Data Store, Letter Default Avatar, Communication Stack modules.
  • How to get involved.

Why do we need a session on Harmony? Because it's not known to all that it's an option to use a native Drupal entity solution, see this recent podcast. This session is a progressed version of the one that happened at DrupalCon Los Angeles.
